    over on the scene

    "What people don't know about the sport of boxing. In a fighter's career, a fighter starts off good and he's good until the end of his career or a fighter starts off good and then goes downhill towards the end of his career. A fighter doesn't start off like Manny Pacquiao, just ordinary, and then once he gets over the age of 25 he becomes an extraordinary fighter. It just doesn't work like that in this sport of boxing," Mayweather said.

    Pac was never an ordinary fighter. Or at least not since 2001. He was just underexposed.

    I've watched pretty much all his fights since the Ledwaba fight and he is anything but ordinary.

    What Mayweather needs to realize, you reach your prime after 25. Late twenties 27 onwards, like most professional sports.

    Seriously. Talk about faulting a guy for being poor, and not just poor but 3rd world poverty stricken that makes the hood look lavish.

    Reading between the lines, I would say this is what FMJ was referring to.

    everyone matures differently, those videos of pac getting ko'ed he looks like hes ****ing 17. Mayweather just bases Pacs whole career on his 2 early losses, seriously does anybody really take floyds opinon serious anymore?

    i've used this example before but iam gonna use it one last time. in one of the brian kenny interviews before the jmm fight, floyd makes a remark " There all beating each other but no ones beating me!" Floyd are you serious? there not beating you cause you dont EVER fight them.

    when cotto lost to margo i bet floyd told everybody he was comming back lol. i respect all fighters but i call it as i see it and floyd is delusional and every interview he goes on he tries to convince US that hes legit. none to less props for fighting mosley but it should of been pac, the steriod **** is a blanket and its clear. The mayweathers may believe some of the **** they say but believe me its to cover there own insecurites of possible victory in said fight.

    That's Mayweather, and he is not trash talking there. He is just saying what he thinks of Pacquaio.

    If Manny wasn't such a stand up guy, I'd suggest he should have said he doesn't fight wife beaters when negotiations were beginning for the PBF vs Pac fight.

    He looks 17 because he was. When he lost to Torecampo he was 17 and for that fight it might have been a low blow. When he lost to Singurat he was 20 I think.

    But yeah Mayweather doesn't realize that Pac was malnourished. His reason for fighting was to make money because his family was starving. Its not like Mayweather who's had the best trainers and nutritionist since hes been a kid. Pac didn't think about what to eat it was more a question of would he get to eat. No **** he didn't look that good back then.
